Show a Popup When Substance Painter FAILS to SAVE

I’m coming to here a little pissed off after losing FOUR HOURS of work because apparently for the last hours of texturing, I hadn’t noticed the small red text (usually covered by my taskbar) that was letting me know that I was NOT saving my file. So, eventually, when substance painter inevitably crashed like it always does, I lost SO MUCH PROGRESS. PLEASE for the LOVE OF GOD, make it so whenever the program is unable to save, it appears as a POPUP, so people like me who usually don't check the error messages will be able to fix the issue before it overwrites progress. Yes, you can argue that I should always be checking the error messages, but I would argue for an issue as big as the FILE NOT SAVING, that it deserves an error popup window. Thank you.

    Thank you for the feedback. This is something we could work on indeed.
